Chargers Week One Opponent Head Coach Reacts to Schedule Release Reference with Witty Response

The Los Angeles Chargers are gearing up to face off against the Miami Dolphins in their Week 1 matchup as we approach the highly anticipated kickoff weekend. The schedule for the 2023 season was revealed back in May, and lately, teams' social media accounts have been getting creative in their schedule releases.

The Chargers, known for their inventive and entertaining approach, brought back their successful anime-themed schedule from 2022 for this year. They didn't hold back from taking playful shots at some of their opponents in the process, and the Miami Dolphins found themselves in the crosshairs. The focus of their jest was none other than head coach Mike McDaniel.

Coach McDaniel responded to the Chargers' humorous video in a witty manner.

Miami opens their season in LA next week, and the Chargers’ schedule release video that hilariously referenced Coach McDaniel “hitting the vape” was brought up in today’s presser.

His reaction? “A lot of creative people doing creative things.” 😂

Regardless, the playful exchange adds an extra layer of excitement and anticipation as the Chargers prepare to kick off their 2023 season against the Miami Dolphins.
